In this program we look at covalent bonding. A short summary as to why bonding occurs is presented before viewers witness how electrons are shared in covalent compounds. We discuss how the geometry of molecules is predicted by the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the two types of weak forces of attraction between molecules, dipole interactions and dispersion forces, and covalent network solids which are formed from carbon atoms. Examples of network solids are addressed including diamond, graphite and fullerenes. With the assistance of animated graphics, this program provides viewers with a wonderful introduction to chemical bonding.
